question

Post by DMez » Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:49 pm

lookin at a post on craigslist and this is what he says:

"This is a 1995 Plymoth Neon that has a bad engine basically one of the pistons is misfiring and when you run it you can here a knock in it"

now a misfire i would assume is from plugs/wires/coilpack/etc.

could the "knock" be the misfire that he is hearing?

yea if could be a number of things but sounds like a rod knock which get louder then you pull a plug wire to that bad bearing

LOL---I seen that on craigslist too. Its the blue on correct? I emailed and called the guy, cant get a hold of him at all. For the price, if you could get it running it would be a steal

Lol, I put a bumper and headlight on today. The radiator support is pushed down and back a bit on the passenger side so that would need to be fixed to make it "perfect" but it doesn't look too bad.

And my buddy wants his engine back cuz he found a Neon for $100 that has a seized engine...
